My First Crush Happened To Be My Hubby! novel Chapter 2

D's PoV

Yeah! I'm getting ready for a wedding. Except it’s not my wedding. It's even worse. I'm getting ready to showcase myself to the 'groom-to-be' who is coming to a wedding which is supposedly a distant (far distant) relative's. So, the parents on both sides thought of this amazing idea to go informal. We are going to meet at a wedding function and decide if we like each other. Huh! Who am I bluffing..? The groom wants to see me in-person and he has no time to come to Trichy. So, we are going to this very distant relative's wedding in Coimbatore to show myself!

Eww! Sounds bad? Anyways! I have no say! Though I have nobody on my mind and ready to accept anyone whom my parents choose for me, I still feel a bit bad for myself. At least they could ask how I feel about all this. I know my parents will make no mistake in choosing my life partner. We are at my paternal Grandparents home. My mom is going all crazy. With what she has taken out for me to wear, the groom of this wedding will really get confused for the bride.

"Mee, this wedding is not for me. You are going to confuse everyone in the wedding hall." I laughed at her.

"Stop that and come let me drape this saree for you." she hushed me.

"Mee I'm not going to wear this saree or these jewels. For god's sake, please let me choose my outfit".

"Put this saree on, Danya Hon. You will look gorgeous in it. Maybe we can reduce the jewels." WOW! That's the best I can get from her. So, I thought it’s better to settle with this deal.

"Ok! Done! Now you go and get ready. I will call you when I need your help." With that she left the room. I looked at the dark purple silk saree with silver jari(border) on it. It's indeed beautiful. I started draping it and finished it in about 1hour. Hehe! I'm no good at saree draping. I took minimal jewels to go with the saree and left my long hair open with a little clip in the middle that held the side hair. Should I say I look beautiful?! Is that not self-appreciating??? But I do look amazing. It gives me a little confidence boost!

We are now at the valet-parking of the wedding hall. Wow! The hall looks humongous! Deep breaths D! You can do this! You can do this! It's 7.30am and the wedding time is 7.30 to 8.00 am. We are on time. We attend the wedding, give them gifts, pose for a picture, greet my groom to be's family, display myself to them, and DONE! I can do this!

When we stepped into the hall that can hold 4000 people easily, I felt the tension in the air! Now-a-days people are so busy they don’t attend 3days wedding! So, our 3days wedding is now 2days wedding with a reception in the evening and followed by a wedding the next morning. And since reception times don't bother working time, many people attend reception! Maybe that is why dad chose to come in the morning to show me! Just to avoid many people's eyes!

Anyways the hall is not fully populated. Maybe, first circle relatives are the only people in it. Of course, except for us! I could see people talking and murmuring! No music instruments playing! And the priest sitting in a chair in the front row! Looks like my dad knows the people in the hall so well. They all greet him! Myself and my mom sat at the last row while my dad went in the crowd and climbed up the stage.

I can see there are some problems in the wedding. Looks like it has stopped! Poor girl! She must be feeling bad! It's not fair to stop the wedding at this point! Or is someone ill? I don’t feel good about my groom-to-be now! I feel like it’s a bad omen! Hehe I know! I'm simply making lame excuses!
